u/Hopeful-Farm-7031

I finally finished up painting my 1000 point army, and have my first game running Astra Militarum tomorrow (not my first game of 40k, been playing Admech for ~a year). I'm planning on using the Combined Arms detachment.

Does anyone have any general advice for playing guard? Thanks!

Castellan + Cadian Command Squad + Cadian Shock Troops

Commissar (on his own)

Rogal Dorn Commander

Artillery Team (with the Siege Cannon)

Bullgryn Squad (in the chimera)

Cadian Recon Squad (the beacon will be placed near the artillery team)

Leman Russ Vanquisher

Chimera

Is there a general consensus for 11th edition if one Kataphron variant is better than another? Breachers were my go-to in 10th, but I've seen some more talk of destroyers recently. (I asked for some list advise earlier, and it seems like people are leaning towards Destroyers.)

I'm just looking for people's opinions, and what they have had the best luck with. Thanks!

Hello! I have been struggling a bit moving into 11th edition. In 10th I was running Haloscreed, and won the majority of my games, but now in 11th I've been trying to run LotF and Radzone (with take and hold) to try something new and it has been a struggle for me so far.

Does anyone have any advice on what units or combos have been working well for them? I have one of every unit, so should be able to try anything.

Thank you in advance!

Hello! I had been building/painting up a 1k list to play with, and after last week's point updates, I've now got 30 points to spare. Does anyone have advice on what I should do with the 30 points? I was thinking either to get a commissar to use for actions, or upgrade to a different Leman Russ Variant (mine is magnetized, so its an easy change).

I haven't actually played any games with the guard yet, so I'm not too sure what would be the most beneficial update to the list, thanks! Pic is the army so far, only the Rogal Dorn (and maybe a commissar) to go!

What do you all think of using Arco-Flagellants as Fulgurites and Negavolt Cultists as Corpuscarii proxies? I'm not a fan of the electro-priest models, so was looking for an alternative. The scale seems pretty close (see second image), and of course they'd be put on the correct base sizes. My original plan was to use Secutarii Hoplites/Peltasts as proxies, but they aren't particularly Cult Mechanicus-y.

I've seen a few old posts discussing electro-priest proxies, but I thought I'd ask for the community's current opinion. Thanks!

Hello! I've played a good bit of Admech and am on my way to building up a guard force. I'm looking for any advice you veteran guardsmen may have on the list copied below.

So far I've got a Chimera, a Cadian Command Squad, and (most of) a Leman Russ painted up and ready to go, plus 10 primed Cadians. So I'd really like to keep those units in my list.

I've got unbuilt boxes of both Cadian combat patrols, a basilisk, and the new Armageddon box. But am willing to get some new stuff if needed. Thanks!

^(Hello! I'm looking for a bit of advice on expanding to 2000 points. I've played a few games at 1000, and am looking to expand to be able to play a full game at 2000.)

^(The turn 1 deep strike with a unit of DWK's and the Lion seems super fun.)

^(What I'm on the fence about is the leader for the ICC's, and Sternguards vs Hellblasters for Azreal to lead.)

^(Any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance!)
